Well I've got another bus! my third early bay and still only 22! :roll:
it all started when i saw a deluxe graham L had for sale and thought i would put the delta green up for sale then with lack of funds i sold 3 cars and by this time i couldn't turn down this bus.

Its from witchita kansas U.S 69 campmobile
Never welded and a freshly rebuilt motor :mrgreen: its only been in the county a few months so its all still fresh.originally montanna red but sprayed white then hand painted red oxide at some point!!!
